Torres brought "substantial" issues, including "the rotting bathroom underflooring" that "affect[ed] the habitability of the [p]remises" to Ndoro's attention in July 2021.  Although the judge did not make detailed findings regarding the numerous written notifications Ndoro received regarding the apartment's condition, the undisputed evidence at trial demonstrated that the city of Lowell's division of development services (Lowell board of health) and Community Teamwork, Inc. (CTI) each separately inspected the premises twice between October 27, 2021, and March 29, 2022, and issued, collectively, four notices of numerous violations of the State sanitary code (code) to Ndoro.  See Chapter II of the State sanitary code, 105 Code Mass. Regs. §§ 410.000 (2007) (establishing minimum standards for fitness for human habitation).
